Farmer Focus
We’d be nothing without the amazing farmers that put the ‘Weet’ in Weetabix
We’re proud to have over 150 local farmers participate in our Growers Group scheme, helping to farm over 75,000 metric tonnes of delicious wheat every year across more than 4 million acres.
That’s almost 3000 football pitches – and a whole lot of breakfasts! With a dedication to quality and sustainability, every farmer we work with is committed to doing what’s right and ensuring they grow in a way that helps nature flourish.

Weetabix WHEAT CYCLE
Growing wheat requires commitment, attention to detail and patience!
In fact, it takes a whole year to cultivate the delicious grains that go into every box here at Weetabix. From planting a wheat seed to seeing green ears spouting, all the way through to harvesting our golden goodness, it’s a process of passion and persistence. A job our local, British farmers take on with pride. Click the button below to discover the seasonal cycle that every grain goes through before it ends up in your bowl.
